Yes - ice maker supply lines are small-diameter water lines that connect to your home's plumbing. A failed line can leak slowly behind the refrigerator for weeks before the water becomes visible. The repair involves shutting off the supply, replacing the line or the saddle valve feeding it, and checking for any water damage to the floor or subfloor. A Roto-Rooter technician handles the plumbing side of that repair.

A cable auger cuts through or pulls out the immediate blockage - hair, a grease plug, roots - but leaves residue coating the pipe wall. Hydro jetting sends a high-pressure water stream through the line, scouring the walls to remove calcified grease, mineral scale, and root debris that a cable can't reach. For drains that clog repeatedly, hydro jetting addresses the buildup that keeps feeding new clogs.

Tree roots enter drain lines through hairline cracks at pipe joints, then expand as they absorb moisture. Over time they form a dense mat that catches debris and causes recurring backups. The telltale sign is a slow drain or backup that keeps returning weeks after clearing. A sewer camera inspection reveals whether roots are present, where they've entered, and how much of the line they've affected.

When multiple fixtures back up simultaneously, the blockage is almost certainly in the main sewer line rather than any individual drain. The main line carries waste from every fixture in the house to the city connection - a blockage there affects everything at once. Roto-Rooter technicians clear main line blockages with the Roto-Rooter Machine and can follow up with a camera inspection to confirm the line is fully clear.

A basement floor drain sits at the lowest point in your home's drainage system, so it's the first place water surfaces when the main line is slow or partially blocked. Running multiple fixtures at once overwhelms a restricted line, and the overflow finds the lowest exit. This is a reliable early warning sign of a main line problem. A Roto-Rooter technician can auger the main line and use a camera to identify the restriction.

Roto-Rooter dispatch operates 24/7, 365 days a year - including nights, weekends, and holidays. A burst pipe or a sewage backup can't wait until morning, and a technician can be sent the same day regardless of when you call.

Hidden leaks often show up as soft drywall, unexplained spikes in your water bill, or a musty smell with no visible source. A Roto-Rooter technician uses moisture meters and visual inspection to trace the leak to its origin - whether that's a pinhole in a supply line, a loose fixture connection, or a failing joint behind the wall - before any cutting or patching begins.

Whole-house low pressure usually points to one of three causes: a partially closed main shutoff valve, a failing pressure reducing valve (PRV), or a supply-side leak. The PRV regulates incoming pressure to a safe household range - when it fails, pressure drops noticeably at every fixture. A Roto-Rooter technician tests pressure at multiple points to isolate the cause and recommend the right repair.

That rumbling usually means sediment has settled on the tank floor. As the burner heats water trapped beneath the sediment layer, it pops and rumbles. Flushing the tank removes the buildup and can restore efficiency. A Roto-Rooter technician also checks the anode rod, thermostat, and pressure relief valve to determine whether a flush is enough or whether the unit has reached the end of its service life.

A running toilet almost always needs a new flapper or fill valve. The flapper seals the tank between flushes - when it warps or wears out, water trickles continuously into the bowl. A worn fill valve keeps refilling the tank because it can't shut off cleanly. Both are simple part replacements. A Roto-Rooter technician can diagnose which component has failed and replace it during the same visit.
